By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford – Round 2 The 49ers had a lot of success on defense for a few years when they were starting two strong safeties with Dashon Goldson and Donte Whitner.

Denver Broncos Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Jeff Heuerman, TE, Ohio State – Round 3 If the Broncos hadn’t changed to Gary Kubiak’s offense I probably wouldn’t pick Heuerman to become a solid starter. He isn’t an uber-athletic or fast receiving tight end like what Denver lost wit Julius Thomas. However in Kubiak’s offense, I…

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Danny Shelton, DT, Washington – Round 1 In the 2015 NFL Draft, Shelton was one of the safest picks. The 6-foot-2, 339-pounder is a mauler at the point of attack and is nearly impossible to move in the ground game. The Browns had the worst running defense in…

Arizona Cardinals Rookies Forecast

By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell Solid Starter Markus Golden, OLB, Missouri – Round 2 This was a tough choice between D.J. Humphries and Markus Golden. I could see either one becoming a quality starter or becoming a bust. Golden (6-2, 260) is a bit of tweener, and his skill set may not translate to the…
